Much more disturbing than expected

Revisado: 09-14-24

I can see how some people would love the narrator, but I just found his main character voice and announcer voice so difficult to put up with. Both are trying too hard in my opinion. The orgasm voices need not even be described..

The book itself is way more disturbing than I expected. I found myself only sticking around to see the main character get back at the terrible creations, but realize just leaving the book part way was the best option. So happy to enjoy other litrpgs that I think are much better.

Best in the series - I had read people’s gripes but think they are mistaken

Revisado: 12-15-21

I saw a lot of people saying this felt like a novella or something less concrete but this is actually the exact kind of book I’ve been waiting for in the series. I liked it much more than the second book and in a lot of ways is probably my favorite of the series so far. I thought it was very well done (if a little predictable) and I was very engaged all the way through.

Narrator sounds like Siri

Revisado: 03-05-20

Read this book for a class, but while the content was ok, the reader was awful. It made listening to the book a chore and felt like I was listening to Siri. Do NOT recommend the audio version.

Most overhyped book - so disappointing

Revisado: 02-12-20

Not a good book at all. Ending is slightly interesting but very painful every step of the way to stay engaged. Almost made me think I downloaded the wrong book after it came so highly recommend. Reader is underwhelming, story is paced very poorly, leaves a lot to be desired.

Proceed with extreme caution - major waste of a credit.

Book 2 is probably my favorite

Revisado: 02-12-20

Takes a thrilling first book to a whole new level. Darrow is awesome and it just gets better in Golden Son. You must keep going and ready books 2 & 3.

(Then stop - don’t read books 4 & 5)

Top 5 series of all time - start it right now

Revisado: 02-12-20

Absolute must read. Everyone who has finished it has become a total fanatic. It is the greatest series of its kind. Book 1 is thrilling and then you must continue to book 2 - it has some of the best moments in any book I’ve ever read.

The writing is stellar, narrator is awesome. So amazed by the author.

Only downside is that it will hurt your sleep schedule. Hard to ever turn it off. Last 4-5 hours are a rush.

PS - ONLY read books 1-3. Books 4-5 completely ruin the series. Wish I had never read them, literally some of the worst books I’ve read in years.

Needlessly violent. Rehash same problems. Darrow is over.

Revisado: 02-12-20

Would highly suggest stopping after book 3. Do not ruin your red rising experience with the imposters of the second series. Also, the narrators are even worse in this book than book 4. Rarely did I feel frustration with the author in the first trilogy, but book 5 is just full of disappointment after disappointment. Any redemption arc in book 6 won’t even matter because what you knew and loved about red rising is now dead and desecrated. Wait for Pierce to write a new series, because just listening to this book has been my greatest audible regret.

Stay Away! Stop after 3rd book

Revisado: 02-12-20

The second trilogy is extremely disappointing. This book starts to take a poor turn that just worsens to the depths of book 5. Books 1-3 are probably my favorite series (maybe tied for 1st), while book 5 is probably one of the worst books I’ve ever read. I believe he must have been just pushed to keep the series going as it has none of the creativity or thrill that the first set had. The narrators are jarring the characters much less like able. Very disappointing.

Very interesting (First 2/3 is fantastic)

Revisado: 02-12-20

So fascinating. Was literally shocked about how all this could be real and spoke about it with many co workers. First half to two thirds are riveting but it kind of flounders at the end when it drastically changes direction.
